Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X| ≥ |Y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. In this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...

We consider continuous, translation-commuting transformations of compact, translation-invariant families of mappings from finitely generated groups into finite alphabets. It is well-known that such transformations and spaces can be described “locally” via families of patterns and finitary functions; such descriptions can be re-used on groups larger than the original, usually defining non-isomor...

In this paper we prove a theorem giving sufficient conditions for the existence of common fixed points of pointwise R-subweakly commuting mappings on nonconvex sets. We apply this theorem to derive some results on the existence of common fixed points from the set of best approximation for this class of maps in the set up of metric spaces. The results proved in the paper generalize and extend so...

This is a topological dynamics perspective on the full bifurcation unfolding in unimodal mappings. We present a bundle structure, visualized as a bundle plot, to show the evolution of symbolic space as we vary a system parameter. The bundle plot can be viewed as a limit process of an assignment plot, which are lines assignments between points from two dynamical systems. Such line assignments ar...

As a natural generalization of various investigations in different function spaces, we study the following problem. Let A be an arbitrary set, and Tj (j = 1, . . . , n) be arbitrary commuting mappings – transformations – from A into A. Under what conditions can we state that a function f : A → A is the sum of “periodic”, that is, Tj-invariant functions fj? (A function g is periodic, i.e., invar...

In this paper we study commuting families of holomorphic mappings in Cn which form abelian semigroups with respect to their real parameter. Linearization models for holomorphic mappings are been used in the spirit of Schröder’s classical functional equation. The one-dimensional linearization models for holomorphic mappings and semigroups, based on Schröder’s and Abel’s functional equation have ...
